LyicsMY GOD, my Father-blissful name!-
O may I call thee mine?
May I with sweet assurance claim
A portion so divine?
This only can my fears control,
And bid my sorrows fly:
What harm can ever reach my soul
Beneath my Father's eye?
Whate'er thy providence denies,
I calmly would resign;
For thou art good and just and wise;
O bend my will to thine.
Whate'er thy sacred will ordains,
O give me strength to bear;
And let me know my Father reigns,
And trust his tender care.
